Wasi Ullah

At Nyaya Pathshala

As Associate Editor, Wasi brings the courtroom into Nyaya Pathshala. Having practised as an advocate at the Allahabad High Court before turning to teaching, he checks that our guides on criminal procedure, bail, arrest and trials match what actually happens in police stations and courts, not just what the statute says. His doctoral research on the Juvenile Justice Act makes him our lead reviewer for the guides on children in conflict with the law, child protection and children's rights, and he also reviews our explainers on the Constitution.
